As previously announced, a Netherlands registered Jetstream J32 was cleared to fly domestically, with all the required Civil Aviation Authority approvals secured. An obstacle arose last week, however (related to Border Force) which needs to be resolved ahead of the larger aircraft commencing the route from 1 March.
Wonder what the Border Force issue is?

Looks like a private jet!

The pic below and the aircraft comes from DragonFly Executive Air Charter. I wonder if this is what Wick will get.

The press release you linked to later says March 1, 2026 - has the date been pushed back from Feb 2 to March 1?

Very possibly - I just used dummy bookings through the ACS website in order to determine the date, and it’s possible that not everything had been loaded when I did so.
